Sam made my Jazzy 13 year old car sparkling clean in and out .. it’s going up for sale and it will make a huge difference to the price I now get.
The shiny vinyl interior was especially impressive!
Thanks team

Thank you very much for your amazing job!! Our car was filthy inside and out side…. (Even the inside ceiling is now like new) YOU have made the car spanky clean, looks like a brand new!! The car is now much shinier and clear than when we bought! I will ask you to clean again!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ceramic Protection worth it? expand_more
Absolutely — it forms a long-lasting protective layer that shields your paint from environmental damage, makes cleaning significantly easier, and keeps a high-gloss finish for years.
Do I need to book in advance? expand_more
Yes, we recommend booking in advance to secure your prefferable date. But we accept walk in customers subject to availability.
Does ceramic coating remove scratches? expand_more
No. Ceramic coating protects the prepared surface; it does not correct existing scratches. Suitable imperfections should be addressed through paint enhancement or correction before coating.
Does ceramic coating make paint scratch-proof expand_more
No. A coating can provide some resistance to light wash-related marring depending on the product, but it does not make paint scratch-proof or protect against stone chips and serious physical damage.
Can every vehicle receive a ceramic coating? expand_more
Most properly finished automotive paintwork can be coated, but the condition and type of surface should always be assessed first. Certain repainted, damaged, matte, or otherwise specialised finishes may require additional consideration.
Can I ceramic coat a vehicle with swirl marks? expand_more
Yes, but if the goal is to improve the appearance of those swirl marks, paint enhancement or correction should generally be carried out before coating.
